Some
people
believe that taking
risks
in their life is an important thing to do, whether it is on personal choices or related to their career. I agreed to the argument,
due to
several reasons.
First,
taking a chance could lead us to explore new things and new passions.
Second,
taking a risk could be game-changing for some
people
.
Firstly
, by taking
risks
,
people
could discover a new passion in their
lives
.
According to
Ms Nena, a psychologist from Universitas Riau, many
people
mostly choose to continue their
lives
the same every single day, from work to social
lives
. A few
people
are satisfied with that, but the majority love to imagine how their
lives
change.
For instance
, imagine what if they have a different career, live in a different city, or make their child's deepest dream come true.
However
, not everyone has enough courage to do that because they trying to settle down with reality.
Thus
,
people
need to take a chance in their
lives
to discover, because it could lead them to step up from their comfort zone and find their passion.
Secondly
, taking
risks
could help someone's life become different and may lead us to new opportunities. JK. Rowling,
for instance
, took a risk by writing a Harry Potter novel and tried to send more than a hundred copies of the novel to publishing. Even though she kept getting rejected, Ms Rowling kept trying harder until the novel was accepted and years after that it became one of the most famous fiction novels in the world. Through these examples,
people
could learn that taking
risks
and believing in them could lead us to great opportunities that
people
could never have imagined before.
Therefore
, it is important to take
risks
for
people
because it could be game-changing.
To conclude
, I believe that
risks
are an important decision for
people
to take because it could be a chance to discover their passion, and
also
it could be a way to discover other opportunities in their
lives
.
